Antigua Part II

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

During our vacay, Matt and I rarely ventured off of our
resort. We had everything we needed
right there… and isn’t that the point of a vacation – to RELAX? So that’s what we did. All day
– every day. However, there were two
instances where we were feeling feisty and decided to go explore away from our compound. One of those days was our hike to an old
fort. We woke up earlier than usual (don’t
worry it was still after 8), ate a delicious breakfast (duh) and met our group
for the morning hike. We walked through a
little town where we saw wild animals, school children and the cutest and brightest
houses you can imagine. And when we
finally got to our destination – the top of a fort used by the British to
fight off the French (who were unsuccessful for awhile) – we were speechless.
For one we were tired, it was hot and the hike was long. But the view of the island and the sea were
absolutely stunning. Words cannot
describe how I felt on top of that mountain.
Everywhere you looked you saw the Caribbean Sea. It was as if God was saying, “Take a deep breath
and enjoy the view… oh and you’re welcome.” Then we hiked back, were greeted with some fresh coconut water and decided to relax by the pool. Ah, can I go back yet? I love these following pictures from that day and I hope you do too....
